(aka Miss Bintje) This is the potato that made Belgium famous for frites. Known as the best variety for french fries, and the Belgians should know, their per capita consumption of french fries exceeds even America's by a third! Introduced in 1910 by the botanist and schoolmaster named Kornelis Friesland and named after one of his pupils. This variety literally fed Belgium through two world wars. Possible the most widely grown variety of yellow-fleshed potatoes in the world. Will grow on a wide range of soils and will store exceptionally well. Give the Bintje a try this year! We are sure you will not be disappointed.
